Hi me and my family are debating what color to paint our house, is there a way, where i could take a picture of my house, and then use photoshop or even another program to see how it would look like in different colors?

Yes, photoshop. Select the house and change the hue/saturation.

hey thanks for your reply, i watched a youtube video that shows saturation/hue, is there a way i can target a certain part of the house instead of the whole picture, so can see what it would look like in that color?

To select walls in your house, use the Polygonal Lasso Tool to make a selection and then do a Layer->New->Layer via Copy so that wall is on a separate layer. Do this with all the walls or parts you want to change the colours of as it will let you have control over each one.

I presume you are referring to the selection line or marching ants as they are known as? You need to either hold down CTRL+D and that will get rid of them or click on Select->Deselect in the dropdown menu.
